Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

These demonic soldiers come in many varieties, including jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, skeleton warriors covered in bone spikes, rotting zombie monsters, and giant poisonous insects.

At a rough glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people.

"kill!"

With a single command from the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor.

"Awooo!"

The myriad demons roared in unison and charged fiercely toward Yuezhi City.

"Release the arrows!"

On the city wall, Li Yuan's blade pointed straight ahead.

Millions of arrows pierced the air and shot into the ranks of demon soldiers. The first few dozen demon soldiers were shot down, but the demon soldiers behind them continued to charge over the corpses of their comrades, their speed undiminished.

At this moment, the two demon emperors also made their move.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor's goal was clear: its massive body transformed into a burning meteorite, hurtling straight towards Li Yuan's location.

The Bone-Eating Demon Emperor chuckled, his eerie green eyes fixed on Liu Hongyan, greed gleaming in them. He transformed into a wisp of purple mist and drifted over silently, arriving at the foot of the city wall in the blink of an eye.

A gigantic hand formed from purple mist emerged from the smoke and lunged at Liu Hongyan.

"Hmph! A mere trick!"

Liu Hongyan snorted coldly, flicked her longsword, and a fierce sword light swept out, slashing towards the giant hand.

"Sizzle!"

The sword light collided with the giant hand, producing a hissing, corrosive sound. The icy blue sword light quickly dimmed under the erosion of the purple mist, but the giant hand was also shattered by the sword light.

"Hehehe..."

The Bone-Eating Demon Emperor let out a hoarse laugh: "Such pure icy power, but unfortunately, it's useless against me."

Its body flickered, transforming into three streaks of purple smoke that attacked Liu Hongyan simultaneously from three directions.

Liu Hongyan remained unfazed, wielding her longsword. Streaks of icy blue sword light intertwined around her body, forming an impenetrable sword net that blocked all attacks.

On the other side, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor crashed into Li Yuan like a meteor. Li Yuan did not take the hit head-on, but instead leaped out of the city.

He didn't want the battle to spill over onto the city walls, since ordinary soldiers caught in the aftershocks of a battle involving a demon emperor would either be killed or injured.

"Trying to run away?"

With a roar, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor changed direction and chased after Li Yuan.

After landing, Li Yuan's figure did not pause at all, and like a streak of light, he sped away in the distance.

His speed was so great that he left a long trail of dust on the Gobi Desert.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor pursued relentlessly from behind. Seeing Li Yuan fleeing in disarray, he let out a triumphant laugh: "Haha, run! I'd like to see where you can run to!"

After chasing for five or six miles, Li Yuan's speed slowed down. The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor was overjoyed and suddenly accelerated, grabbing at Li Yuan's back with a claw.

Just as the enormous claws were about to strike, Li Yuan suddenly accelerated, narrowly avoiding the claws. With a twist of his waist, a five-colored blade of light slashed towards the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor's face.

"call!"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of flame, engulfing the blade's edge, and then slapped out with its claw.

Li Yuan couldn't retreat in time and was grazed on the left arm by the sharp claws. With a "ripping" sound, a large piece of his sleeve was torn off, leaving several deep bloody marks on his arm.

"Ugh!"

Li Yuan grunted and used the momentum to slide back several feet, putting distance between himself and the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor.

He glanced at the wound on his left arm and frowned slightly.

Seeing that Li Yuan was injured, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor did not rush to pursue him. He stopped, looked at Li Yuan with the eyes of a cat playing with a mouse, and sneered.

"What? You can't hold on anymore?"

"I haven't even done my part yet."

Li Yuan grinned: "Nothing special."

In response to his provocation, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor laughed loudly: "Hahaha..."

"Fine, very well, you're so stubborn!"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor looked at him with a mocking gaze, taking steps closer and closer, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being teased.

"Li Yuan, do you know? I actually admire you very much."

"To kill a white ape with the cultivation of the Condensation Realm is a feat that the entire Tang Dynasty can be proud of."

He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Li Yuan's expression. "If you are willing to surrender, I can spare your life and grant you a position in the Demon Court. How about it?"

"surrender?"

Li Yuan gave a mocking smile: "Do you think that's possible?"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor sighed dramatically, feigning regret: "What a pity. I was going to spare your life, but since you've chosen to die, you can't blame me."

Before the words were even finished, its figure vanished.

The next moment, it appeared above Li Yuan's head, and a huge foot burning with raging flames slammed down on Li Yuan's head.

A terrifying force swept in; if this stomp landed, even an iron mountain would be flattened.

Li Yuan's pupils constricted sharply. He tried to teleport, but was firmly locked in place by the opponent's aura. His internal energy flowed sluggishly. At the critical moment, he rolled to the side in a sorry state, narrowly avoiding the kick.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor stomped his foot on the ground with a loud "boom," creating a huge crater several meters in diameter. The soil turned red-hot and flew everywhere.

Before Li Yuan could even get up from the ground, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor's second wave of attacks arrived. It unleashed both fists, like two giant flaming hammers, smashing down on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan had no choice but to dodge again.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor's attacks became faster and fiercer, forcing him to constantly dodge and maneuver, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

Soon, he had several wounds on his body, his clothes were charred and tattered, and he looked extremely disheveled.

"Kid! Don't think that just because you killed the white ape, you can actually challenge opponents of a higher level!"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor looked at him with disdain. The Demon Emperor level was equivalent to the Dao Realm, and could mobilize the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

No matter how powerful one is in the Condensation Realm, it is still one's own power. How can human power contend with the power of heaven and earth?

At this moment, the battle between Liu Hongyan and the Bone-Eating Demon Emperor has exceeded the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two figures danced and intertwined above the city wall, creating a deafening roar.

The icy blue sword light and the dark purple mist intertwined, creating a magnificent yet eerie scene.

Liu Hongyan's red dress fluttered in the wind, and her sword energy transformed into an ice-blue dragon, soaring up and down with unparalleled ferocity.

Although it was made of ice, her swordsmanship carried an indomitable spirit, without a trace of weakness.

The Bone-Eating Demon King's cultivation level was average, but his methods were extremely insidious, with various toxins appearing one after another, making it impossible for people to guard against him.

Upon closer inspection, the purplish-black poisonous fog was actually formed by a mixture of more than a dozen different colored toxins, looking filthy and emitting a strong, fishy stench.

Fortunately, Yuezhi City had a protective array; otherwise, none of the soldiers on the city walls would have survived.

The most troublesome thing is that its poisonous gas contains strong corrosiveness, which constantly erodes Liu Hongyan's sword energy, and she can only survive by constantly repairing herself.

The two fought back and forth for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, yet neither could gain the upper hand.

On the battlefield below the city walls, the battle between the defenders and the demon soldiers was also exceptionally fierce.

Although the garrison of Yuezhi City was small in number, they managed to hold off the first wave of demon soldiers' charge by relying on the grand formation and fortifications.

A large number of demon soldiers' corpses were piled up at the foot of the city wall, but the defending army also suffered considerable casualties.

On the distant battlefield, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor finally began to lose patience.

They thought they could easily defeat Li Yuan, but they didn't expect this human to be so tenacious. Even though he was powerless to fight back, he just couldn't be killed.
